No, BCG, my treatments will be two chemo solutions - gemcitabine and docetaxel. My understanding is they are inserted one at a time through the catheter and I hold them in my bladder for a few hours.
Or as my hubby said this- they pour the solutions in, next you ‘gargle and swish’ then spit them out! Silly husband.

Laughter is good medicine!!
That could be what mine is. I have a hold of 2 hours...then void and pour bleach into the toliet.. yikes!! I remember doing that before...
He just said BCG. He has so many patients I don't know how he keeps track.

I’ve been taking these treatments since September 2023. I started with 1 weekly treatment for 6 weeks then went to 1 treatment a month. I’m almost half way thru my 2nd year! Can be difficult at times but hoping for great results. I hope and pray that your treatments will be successful in destroying any and all cancer cells!
